Its not an option and it never has been and never will be. It's human grandeur to believe we can destroy life on Earth - it will become uninhabitable for humans far before we have the chance to do that.

I just hope I don't ever see a nuclear war. The fact that a handful of madmen could very possibly destroy the planet gives me anxiety.

Again - that's human grandeur. Nuclear weapons would end human life on earth, not all life completely. If it helps ease your anxiety, if you ever do see nuclear war it'll be over pretty quickly!

Calm down with your cockroach pride. The end of all human life as a result of the insanity of a handful of tyrants: pretty terrifying possibility.

a nuclear war would not really destroy the planet, not any more than cyanobacteria did.
